Description | Rain and winds hit the north-west coast of Scotland as Zachary Killingback analyzed a rock sunk in the mud. It wasn't just an old stone: weighing around 250,000 tons and larger than a jumbo jet, the boulder reached that position about 1.2 billion years ago, making it the oldest landslide ever discovered on the land |
